Melanie ~ look at me with starry eyes...

popchex's post reminded me I wanted to document this.

The other day I filled my car with gas. In 4 years, the cost of filling my tank has doubled, literally. Gas here is going for about $5.15/gallon. (we measure it in litres though)

I know it's just a part of life.. last night my co-worker and I were discussing buying scooters. He has a jeep and he fills it four times more a month than I do, and we are driving about the same amount. That would kill me.


My throat is still sore this morning. I haven't been called into work, so I think I'll go for a walk with alena_griffiths!

( working out )

I was supposed to be at the front desk today, but we were too busy, so I was on the line-up as a teller. I swear I just could not get my brain into the place it needed to be. I ended up sending someone's bill with them, when I needed it for the payment (usually we do bills electronically, but this one I needed). At one point, and old crush/friend of mine from when I was 20 or so, was in front of me, with his new bride, and I was so distracted trying to figure out how I knew him. Wasn't till he left that I remembered. He feels like a lifetime ago. I wonder if he remembered me, he was a bit flustered.

After work I returned the large water bottles, and was annoyed by the fact that they gave me a gift card to the store instead of my money back.

I went to the recreation center and was refunded my dance class money, no gift cards there ;)

I stopped in at the gym and only did a short workout, but a tough one. 20 minutes on the treadmill, walking uphill on an incline of between 9 and 11.5 (I think it only goes up to 14 or 15). I was sweating. I hate hills, but they are so good for the ass/thighs/lungs. I really wanted to do more but 1) the gym was packed and it was hard to get equipment, and 2) I was so hungry and dehydrated because I forgot my water bottle.

Backwards: Dinner was brown rice, turkey breast and veggies. Snack was sliced strawberries. Lunch was cheerios and brown rice milk, raw broccoli, carrots, peppers and celery. Breakfast was egg whites and one yolk.

If your dreams are all about working out, does that count? Last night I dreamed I was doing planks, and then I was doing planks with a ball. Then I dreamed I was lifting weights. I'm sure that burned calories, right? Right?

This is what I quit my job for!!

5k run, 1k walk ~ this morning

10 minutes on rowing machine ~ (I need more endurance on that thing)

10 minutes of arm weights (6lb weights) ~ would have done more but Rebecca called to go to the gym

2 and a bit rounds at the gym ~ just over half an hour, I would have  kept going..

4 km run ~ I forced Rebecca, she loved it. 


I've possibly gone insane. I want to do it all again tomorrow, except I just remembered that I have to work tomorrow afternoon, so no gym in the afternoon.

I'm buying a bike today! (If I get all my work done, if not.. then it will be tomorrow :D )

finally trying to upload a picture, but saying file too large??? i am so illiterate that I have no idea how to change this... if any ideas - please comment

Nice night last night. Yuck dinner, disappointing. Nothing compares to the Atlas, but Trina hates it there. I cannot understand why. I could live there. Came home to be naughty and eat Rocky Road ice-cream with Trina. Well, that was the naughty part - don't get too excited! Watched a brainless movie, Austen Powers - Gold Member. not memorable, but nice for a lark...

Hooked a friend up with m.s.n. (sound like a dealer) Now he can talk to me whenever his little heart wishes. Too bad he is 10 hours ahead. I definately like it when he works the night shift, then he is on the same schedule as me... and it is all about me, right! *she smiles knowing how caring and giving she really is - ha* Who taught me to be so selfish? Unselfish people make me sick. No, I'm kidding. I do try to be unselfish, well maybe not unselfish, but try to think of others sometimes too. This is all sounding very egotistical and we know that I am not egotistical - just vain...

I am feeling cheeky right now, so read all this with a grain of salt (does that even make sense?) tongue in cheek? whole kettle of fish? if the shoe fits? whatever...

In my jammies right now... gonna have a lazy day, till 1 when I drag my sorry arse to the gym for a workout... Gotta love the lewis center. Where all the men work out in jeans. ahahahah

Gotta love courtenay... well, i'm sure i'll be back. don't miss me too hard... loves and a long hard hug
